INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing Xytronic’s soldering and SMD rework station. This appliance is specially designed for both lead free soldering and SMD chips, SOT, Flat pack ICs’ etc. reworking without alternating the wands. Please carefully read the instruction manual prior to operate to maximize the advantages of using your new rework station.
The LF-1680 incorporates electronic circuitry which enables the user to alter tip temperature from 200 to 480℃ (392-896℉) for soldering application without changing tips or heating elements.

rapid heat-up and super fast recovery. The revolutionary “Zero Voltage” electronic switching design also protects voltage and current sensitive components (CMOS devices. etc.) against damaging current and transient voltage spikes commonly produced by less efficient, mechanically switched stations. The power unit is isolated from the A.C. line by a transformer and allows only 32Vac to drive the heating element.

of solder being used, a good joint is assured. Too low of a temperature will slow the rate of solder flow while a high temperature setting might burn the flux in the solder and emit a heavy, white smoke resulting in a dry joint or permanent damage to the printed circuit board (P.C.B.) and may also shorten the tip life.

TWEEZERS OPERATING PROCEDURES 1. Ensure that the base unit power switch is in the “OFF” position. 2. Plug in Tweezers wand and connect AC power cord to mains “In-let” 3. Flip the “TWZ/SIA” function switch on to the “TWZ” position. 4.
DO NOT WORK ON LIVE CIRCUITS Before working on any mains powered equipment, make sure that it is turned off, and the mains plug is removed from the power point. DO NOT USE IF DAMAGED If the power lead becomes damaged or the rework station becomes faulty, discontinue use immediately.

1. Always tin the tip before returning it to the holder, turning off the station, or storing it for long periods of time. Wipe the tip on a brass cleaner prior to use. 2. Keeping the iron set at high temperatures (more than 400℃ or 750℉) will shorten tip life.

cloth using small amounts of liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of the station. Never use any solvent to clean the case. SERVICE If the iron/tweezers or rework station should become faulty or, for some reason not operate normally, the system should be returned to the service department of your authorized dealer or service agent.
